Rep. Ro Khanna: Democratic Party Needs ‘a New Rebirth’

KHANNA: “The old guard needs to go. The old ways have not been working. (applause) This party needs a new rebirth. This party needs a rebirth to stand for human rights. This party needs a rebirth to stand for the working class. This party needs a rebirth to stand for people over the donor class. This party needs a rebirth to find our courage in standing up for immigrant rights instead of running away when people talk about immigration. (applause) This party needs more people like you in Congress than the current people we have in Congress. I’m here to say that a new Democratic Party, a reborn Democratic Party, a populist Democratic Party, a multiracial Democratic Party, a Democratic Party that centers the working and middle class, a Democratic Party that looks like the future is a Democratic Party that can lead us back to victory and lead us to a better America. It’s time to take back our party and then to take back our country.”
